Shaquille O'Neal admitted that this one A-list actress got him a little hot and bothered when he met her in person. On the latest episode of Complex's “GOAT Talk,” O'Neal shared how he blew his shot with his celebrity crush, Halle Berry.

“But hold on, I had a shot one time and I froze,” the NBA legend shared. “So one day I'm at the Four Seasons on Doheny [Los Angeles] and I'm in the elevator. I'm coming up from the bottom and the door opens. It's me, D Mac, and the door opens and it's Halle Berry.”

The former NBA player said that he immediately froze and couldn't speak at all.

“All I could hear was ‘ding,'” he continued. “But hold on what made it worse, she spoke to me first. ‘Oh hello, Shaquille.' So now I got a little woody and I'm just like… [opens mouth wide]. Then it opened and then she f*cking walks out. And D Mac like, ‘You stupid motherf*cker.' So, Halle Berry… I know she has a little husband, but he won't mind the story.”

The Oscar-winning actress has been married three times. She tied the knot with David Justice in 1993 and divorced in 1997. Berry was married to Eric Benét ​from 2001 to 2005 and Olivier Martinez ​from 2013 to 2016. She was in a relationship with Gabriel Aubry from 2005 to 2010 and they share their daughter Nahla together. The actress has been currently dating her boyfriend Van Hunt from 2020.
